Ookami-heika no Hanayome [Chapter 84]

In Hakuyou’s royal palace, Reishou tells someone that’s
good, so if there are any difficulties, then directly say it. “..seriously
study.” Flustered Ryukou says yes, brother the king. At the harem, Yuulin is
surprised to learn that Reishou had seen An Ryukou today.

Reishou tells her that lately, Ryukou has been studying a
lot of things so by tomorrow, they’ll let him start as an apprentice [/learn by
observation]. With sparkles, excited Yuulin goes near to Reishou and asks if
there is any close brotherly interaction!?

Puzzled Reishou says no, it is merely just a greeting. This
made Yuulin scowl in disappointment. With a lot of ???, she goes, eh eh eh?
Reishou sweatdrops and asks if it is very inconceivable. He tells her that she
really likes this ‘younger brother’ kind of living creature. Yuulin keeps on
asking if it is really just that, just a greeting, it is alright, there’s no
need to lie [to her]. Reishou speechlessly sweatdrops.

Narration: “—I’m Tei Yuulin. The only princess consort of
Hakuyou’s ‘cold-blooded Wolf King’. Everyday, I’m being played around by the
husband who has this wolf-puppy dual personality. Right now, I’m striving hard
to forge ahead and progress to the peak of becoming an outstanding princess
consort.”

Patting her head while scowling, Yuulin thinks, hai, hai,
hai, even if she had prepared herself but in the end, the brothers’
relationship is quite estranged. “An Ryukou is Reishou’s younger brother from a
different mother who had always stayed outside [the palace] before...

...The two brothers’ interaction has just started in
motion.. Even if I also always go with this side.. *Reishou goes lovey-dovey
with her* It is possible that it has still not yet reached the appropriate
distance for [that kind] of interaction.”

Reishou notices that pouting and scowling Yuulin is looking
at him. Holding her fist up, Yuulin shouts that the next time they meet, please
be sure to let her to go with him!! “Also, don’t sneakily hug me! It’s startles
me!” Puppy Reishou asks who told her to wholeheartedly think of something else
and ignore him.

With sparkles and clenched fists, Yuulin thinks, “With An
Ryukou being reserved [/introvert] and His Majesty’s aloofness, there is no way
to build up a conversation. Speaking of the ‘path of loving a younger brother’,
in the end, I’m still the veteran for it!!...

...Right now, with all my strength, for the two to build up
the bridge of love!! Just watch, Seishin!! ◊◊True Love•Younger Brother◊◊” There
is a scene of Seishin sweatdropping. While Yuulin is making a sparkling ‘strive
hard’ pose, Reishou just quietly sweatdrops. Then, he sighs and frowns.

Several days after, at the royal palace, Kokuu greets Yuulin
and says that it’s great that she is looking quite well. Yuulin says that it
has been a long time and why did he come. Kokuu asks if she hasn’t heard about
it. “It is because His Majesty has no free time to go to the military division...

...In order for him to have enough exercise during this
time, I had been called over. [<- he is Reishou’s sparring partner] This
time, I heard about that thing regarding An Ryukou about being an apprentice..
*Yuulin says is that so.*...

...Look over that side, the conversation has already
started.” Yuulin thinks that this is bad for she was late when she wanted to
help the two from the start. “But then, it seems they are talking, what could
it be..”

Reishou tells Ryukou if he is interested, does he want to
practice with him. Nervous Ryukou says no, no, he really couldn’t for he is a
novice, and he doesn’t have the nerve to do that.

Someone interrupts by saying, “Ai ya ya, this is really
quite lively.” Reishou looks serious at the three old men who came. One of the
old man [long beard] says, “It has been a long time since we send our respects
to the King, His Majesty.” Reishou asks what’s up for the hermits to suddenly
gather all together.

The long beard old man says, ah ah ah, for the first time,
in a very long time, the current young officials had sought their advice so
they came over. “It also just happens that we are just attracted by this brightly
colored spring scenery. Ah, so that’s how we run into it.”

Yuulin is really furious because right now, Ryukou is striving
really hard and is currently talking with Reishou but they’re killing the
mood-!!! “What’s up with these old men!! They’re giving that meaningful
glance!” The long beard old man bow with the other two to apologize for
interrupting the two and it is really rude.

Yuulin angrily thinks, that’s right!! The long beard old man
says, “—-in a flash, my country’s royal palace had unprecedentedly really
changed a lot.. *glances at Yuulin* ..actually, it causes one to find it very
fascinating.” Yuulin becomes alarmed as she looks tense. [<- probably felt
the malice, too]

Reishou smiles and asks if they came to fondly remember the
past. That immediately terrifies the three old men. Unsheathing his sword,
Reishou says, “If you have something to tell me, ..depending on the situation,
it won’t hurt for you to say it out. *crazed expression* am I not a king who
can accept sincere advice?”

Aghast the long beard old man bows and says “My king’s
generosity truly makes one feel utterly grateful. But, I’ll find some other
fine day for it. Your Servants will first ask to be excused.” Later that night,
Jun apologizes about the thing about the old men. He says that it was too
sudden that he wasn’t able to respond in time.

Reishou comments, geez, it can be assumed that what they
really want to see is this. Yuulin asks who those three are. She thinks that
because of their interruption, Ryukou had become nervous to the point that he
totally won’t talk. There is a scene of apprentice Ryukou watching while kept
on trembling.

Jun explains that those three hermit elders are currently
part of their country’s five influential family clans. Reishou says that they were seriously working people in place of his father. “Though right now, because
their family positions are given to the offspring, they also cannot quite summarily give
orders at this side...

...*looks serious which startles Yuulin* Right now, they
suddenly came out. *smiles at Yuulin* Yuulin, there’s no need for you to mind
it. Compared to that, it is good if next time, we can make a comeback in being
able to talk with An Ryukou.” Yuulin timidly smiles and says yes.

Yuulin thinks that after they became a real married couple,
she wasn’t allowed to go to the government hall again. “...it is becoming more
and more rare when I’ve seen the scary Wolf King appearance when he deals with
the royal court politics. The Wolf king whose eyes are so cold [/heartless]
that it makes one feel dread.”

The scene changes to a certain waiting area that has a courtyard.
Ryukou calls out to his royal sis-in-law and asks if she is going to watch the swordsmanship
practice again. Yuulin says yes, for she had asked His Majesty..but then, it
seems that he would be a bit late today. “Let us idly chat while taking our
time to wait for him, okay.”

Ryukou says okay. While sitting with Ryukou, Yuulin asks if
studying is interesting. Ryukou says yes, after returning to the capital,
Reishou had called for so many teachers for him. Yuulin thinks that he’s her
comrade. [<- she also has to study a lot.]

Ryukou confides that for him to be in a situation like this,
it is a rare opportunity to be able to follow Reishou and be at his side. “Even
if I can see him, but because brother the king is so remarkably dazzling ..that
even just to speak, I cannot even do it well...

Standing up with clenched fist, Yuulin exclaims, “Just
relax! His Majesty probably also doesn’t know what to do. Definitely, very
soon, he’ll find time to think of a way. Yup. As long as you are ready to grab
the opportunity, then definitely, you’ll be able to talk normally! Gambatte!
Don’t worry!!”

Ryukou smiles and says, yes. Yuulin smiles back at him.
Suddenly, her shawl [/hagoromo] got flown away by the wind. Yuulin is aghast
for it is currently hanging up on the decorative design near the ceiling. Ryukou
stands up and tells Yuulin to please wait as he go and get it.

Surprised Yuulin says that there’s no need for she..or
perhaps, call someone.. Ryukou tells her that it’s very near. After looking at
the shawl, Ryukou climbs up the balustrade to reach the shawl but he lost his
balance. Frantic Yuulin tries to go to him and says dan[ger]..

But Reishou swiftly comes to the rescue as he catches
Ryukou. Yuulin calls for Reishou and exclaims how he appeared just in time!
Aghast Ryukou calls out to Reishou. After Reishou puts him down, trembling
Ryukou thanks him.

Reishou tells Ryukou that it is better for him to first
practice the basics of military skills so they’ll put the discussion about
swordsmanship later on. This caused Ryukou to become frightened and aghast.
Trembling Ryukou says yes, he’s really sorry. Yuulin is also trembling and
aghast over what happened.

Reishou assures Ryukou that he isn’t angry. “Anyone has
things that they are good at and things that they aren’t good at. I know that
your innate skill is in learning ..but training the body well to keep oneself
healthy is also a necessity...

...As someone who has to be protected, you must more or less
learn a bit of self-defense methods to make the bodyguards’ job much easier.
*smiles* ..as your older brother, this is also what I’m looking forward to.”
Ryukou looks at Reishou then shouts, “Yes..! Brother the king..!!”

Yuulin blushes and swoons with flowers over what Reishou
said. “...brotherly love! *moved to tears* It’s so beautiful..!!” Later on,
Reishou returns to his office sighing. Jun asks him what the matter is. Totally
confused, Reishou sits down and says that it is nothing but it’s just that
doing something unfamiliar can make him feel a bit tired.

“I totally have no experience regarding a normal
conversation with father or older brother so I don’t know if what I did is
right or wrong.. ..I always felt that Yuulin’s degree of expectation for it is
a bit quite high. What is a so-called ‘brotherly affection’?”

Jun says, ah..so that’s it. “Hm- anyway, the Lady princess
consort is very happy so isn’t it good that you had roughly pass, right?”
Reishou comments that he’s just saying
that.. Narration: “-let’s first not talk about His Majesty’s distress.”

Somewhere else, sparkling Ryukou tells Yuulin that in the
end, his brother is so cool and outstanding. Yuulin nods and agrees, a perfect
older brother! With clenched fists, Ryukou exclaims that he’ll do his best in
studies and military skills! With clenched fists, Yuulin exclaims, that’s the
spirit! Narration: “I and An Ryukou had become good partners in talking about
His Majesty.”

Comment: Well,
that somehow secures Ryukou on their side. Hehe, even if it is basically due to
Yuulin’s ‘younger brother’ fetish. =P Well, technically, Reishou is also a
‘younger brother’. ^^; Even if Reishou wasn’t sure if what he did was right or
wrong, that’s enough to give Yuulin her ‘high’ ^^

The interesting part of this chapter is the introduction of
the three old men. I would assume that there is some bad experience Reishou had
with those three. Since they were the officials during Reishou’s time, I wonder
if they had a hand in banishing him and his mother from the palace. But then,
it should be considered good since his mother wanted out so perhaps, their
relatives gave his mother a hard time?

If they are still at the palace during his brother’s time,
perhaps, they contributed to the downfall? For now, since their focus is
Yuulin, I guess they aren’t very happy that they cannot put in their ‘women/girls’
in the harem to influence Reishou. These men seem to be well-versed with politics
that they can say things that they don’t mean.

Of course, Reishou also knows how to deal with them too. I
guess Reishou is protecting Yuulin from gossips and things like that so he
doesn’t want her to observe him at the government hall again. I would think
Yuulin doesn’t want to be always pampered and protected yet for now, there is
nothing she can do since she is still ‘weak’. I somewhat hope that she’ll also
take Reishou’s advice to Ryukou and learn some self-defense, too. ^^ Scans by 水月梅漢化组

I've been waiting for this... a new problem arises can't wait to find out what it was. I wonder what are madam Ranyou's thoughts on Ryukou and Reishou getting along? Also the the military training stuff? It must be a long way to go before we complete the story about Reishou's past. I'm all in for the wait!

Yay :D It's been a while since I had the time to read your blog Hurray for Reishou and Yuulin - finally getting along with his little brother sort of XDI can't wait to find out what role the three elders play

You're wonderful for providing us with such awesome summaries, and I also adore your lovely insights. I never thought that those 3 bearded men could (probably) be contributors to the downfall for his brother, I just kinda thought that Reishou detected Thier malice towards Yuulin, and anyone emmiting malice towards his beloved wife is his sworn enemy (hence the anger/negative feelings). And as for Yuulin learning self defence ( though I really really wanna see it), I don't think Reishou is gonna let her do it (until absolutely necessary), cuz didn't he tell her before?- that he wants to protect her with his own 2 hands (｡>﹏<｡)*squeal* *squeal*

I don't think they contributed to it. I would think they were beneficiaries to his reign as well as the father's. The one they disapprove of is Reishou since their power had been reduced greatly, it not totally diminished.

Indeed.

Yup...but we'll see ^^ I'm pretty sure that Yuulin will evolve later on ^^
